After reviewing the interactive, collaborative tools, describe which tool you would incorporate into a lesson? Describe the lesson, grade level and where you are in the lesson in a few sentences. Next discuss the tool you would use and why this would be the best tool. Within that context, describe the purpose of using the interactive tool. Are you using the data? If you are not using the data, why?
Example: This is for a 10th grade developmentally delayed class in English. We have been reading Moby Dick. Each day the students get vocabulary words for the next chapter. We are half way through the book. I will use Socrative to review the vocabulary words up to this point. Since the students are developmentally delayed, answering the questions quickly is not important. What is important is whether the students know the definition. I can use this information to incorporate into the next lesson by asking the students to write the words and definitions along with a sentence using that word for remediation.
You need to have your initial post by Thursday, July 6th. Between Friday and Sunday, reply to your peers asking questions about the lesson and the interactivity.
There are multiple interactive, collaborative tools. We will review a few of them here in detail. I will also list a few at the bottom. For the module 01 discussion, you can choose a collaborative tool we have reviewed here or another of your choice. Remember, it is not just creating an interactive environment. What is the purpose? What are you doing with the data? How is this contributing to student learning or formative assessment of student learning? Remember, when you formatively assess student learning, you are checking progress so you can determine whether you can move on to the next concept or if you need to reteach previous concepts.
Jamboard
Jamboard Links to an external site.is a collaborative Google tool. This can be used to brainstorm ideas as a whole class, create digital posters, collaboratively create a digital story, use sticky notes for brain dumps or for a pros/cons discussion. You can also integrate gdocs and slides into a jamboard session.
There are some limitations. There is no version history. It is important that students dont erase other students work.
